It’s all about the high-quality products 

You spent your hard-earned money on your vehicle and there is no point in spending that money if you’re just going to clean your vehicle with cheap materials. Your vehicle is of the highest quality and that means your clean supplies should be too.  Invest in high-quality cleaning clothes and mitts that are more kind to your vehicle’s exterior paint. Make sure to use products that are specifically made for cars and never use household detergent on your vehicle because that could easily strip the wax off your vehicle. If you have questions about which products you should be using, give us a call and our helpful staff can help you out! 

Invest in an auto detailing clay bar

Even with a good cleaning, you can still find sticky residue on your vehicle’s exterior, like tree sap and bugs in the spring or summer months. The most important thing is, if you don’t treat these spots correctly, you could damage your exterior. An auto detailing clay bar is the perfect investment for this job. The clay rubs any contaminants off the surface of the car. You simply spray the surface and then rub the clay bar along with the paintwork, where it will pick up anything that sticks out.

Don’t forget to wax on, wax off!

Many people take the time to clean their vehicles but then they forget about the wax! This is bad because the wax is used as a protective barrier between the paintwork and any dirt or grime. If you need any suggestions of which wax to use, feel free to give us a call and we can help in any way. Once you apply the wax you’ll need to do so again in 8-12 weeks.

Say NO to automatic car washes

An automatic car wash may seem quick and convenient, but it’s unlikely to look after your luxury car. Some car washes may actually damage your car’s paintwork, and at a comparably cheap price, they’re probably not using products that are good for your luxury vehicle. Washing and detailing your car carefully by hand is always going to give you the best finish and protection.
